After telling the news to everyone, we received our first gift from a very special lady. My great aunt Maxine is very special to Colby and I. She is my mama's aunt and the sister to one of the greatest ladies I've ever known...my Maw Maw also known as "Maw." Colby and I have grown really close to "Aunt Mack" over the past few years. Maw passed away on March 28, 2008 so our connection to Aunt Mack makes us feel very close to Maw. Aunt Mack crocheted a beautiful white blanket and gave Baby Engel it's first Susan B. Anthony coin. These were two hobbies Maw and Mack enjoyed together...collecting coins and crocheting. The gift will always be very special to us. My Maw will not be able to meet Baby Engel on earth, but what an amazing guardian angel he/she will have (along with Maw Maw and Paw Paw Mosteller as well as Colby's Grandmother Engel and Grandmother and Grandfather Laughridge).
